Do Offices Need Health and Safety Advisors?

If you are an employer who runs an office with employees, we recommend appointing a health and safety officer. This enables you to ensure that your on-site health and safety management is upheld and maintained.

This health and safety officer can be the business owner or a member of your workforce. You may also decide to hire someone externally (this is particularly recommended if you work in a high-risk industry such as construction).

It is the responsibility of the appointed health and safety officer to consider the below (as a starting point) when enforcing the health and safety regulations within the workplace.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have worked with SMSE for quite a number of years now and I can't recommend them enough.
We recently had our H&S manual updated and the turnaround time was swift. They understood entirely what we needed and made suggestions for improvement.  Great value for money.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I haven't used any of their paid services but they have been most helpful to a struggling business that is looking forward to moving on to another year. The template they have supplied for free is a great help, we have had to freeze all our subscriptions to professional services so needed a lift to be come compliant when we open. Thanks again.
